C harrisoniana escapes
Here is Cattleya loddigesii 'Volcano Queen'. I show its progrssion of pots. It started out in the clay pot. The very oldest growths have totally dried up and been clipped, but then you can see it starting to escape. The whole thing was then place in a plastic pot. And it continued its march. The plastic pot then got dropped into a plastic basket and there the roots have grown nicely between the pot and basket, now escaping from the basket. The old pseudobulb at the edge of the clay pot still has a bit of green, probably about 1 more year and I'll clip it and remove the clay pot. But it doesn't really matter, since I probably won't try to remove it from the next pot, or basket. Don't want to risk disturbing roots of a bifoliate Catt? So don't. just give it room to run.
Should be C. harrisoniana. My error!
